In a large mixing bowl, combine almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk everything together until well combined.
Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap or lid and place it in the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and the mixture to thicken.
Roughly chop almonds, walnuts, and pecans and toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the pudding has set, give it a good stir to break up any clumps.
Divide the pudding evenly into four serving bowls or jars.
Top each serving with a generous sprinkle of chopped toasted nuts.
Serve immediately or cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
